Nighthawk 100 Decker Court, Suite 215, Irving TX 75062 (972) 717-5555 www.nighthawkcontrol.com

ABOUT THE COMPANY

For two decades, Nighthawk has been designing and manufacturing easy to use “Plug and Play” wireless switches to remotely control virtually any electrical device, from any location. Our products set the standard for excellence in those areas that matter most to our customers, including technology, ease of use and installation.

TWO-WAY CELLULAR WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL REBOOTING DEVICE For customers with distant, or difficult to access, or largely automated electrical devices which need to be controlled remotely (to avoid expensive truck rolls), the Nighthawk NH-100C allows customers to remotely turn such devices on or off using Nighthawk’s WebConnect software with a pick ‘n’ click of a Web button.

Nighthawk’s NH-100C can switch a single electrical device for up to 15 amps of 120 volt household or commercial wall socket electrical power, as instructed by your remote, secured and encrypted Web-site cellular commands.

APPLICATIONS • Used for rebooting: WISP network towers; information kiosks; digital signage; remote cameras; WiFi hotspots; co-location equipment, all in distant locations across the country.

• Used to control household or office devices from a distance, even airplane pre-heaters.

FEATURES

• Wirelessly controlled – two-way – full confirmation of actions back to the Web-site

• National cellular network, so device can be moved to anywhere inside the United States

• Plugs into common 15 amp household outlet

• Automated scheduling features

• Power Outage notification

• Devices are controlled via Nighthawk’s WebConnect software from a PC or smart phone

• Also available in 30 and 50 amp models


“Phone Home” Instant Outage Notificationwith Immediate Text Message or E-mail Alertsplus Online Mapping and Tamper Notification

Plug & Play installation anywhere, using cellular.

Web-Based Interface for mapping.

Immediate notifications and text or e-mail alerts.

Outage Management with online mapping.

Outage notifications and power reactivations aretime-stamped and logged in Web-Connect’sdatabase for subsequent reporting and datadownloads in PDF or CSV formats.

Immediate staff notifications and alerts enable theutility staff to know of power failures as they occur.

If outage is caused by tampering, the meter willalso report that possible tampering has occurred.

System-wide online mapping enables utility toquickly and visually determine the extent andpossible origin of the outage.

OMS - OUTAGE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Whenever line power fails on a Nighthawk outage qualified cellular device, it will “phone home” to notifyWeb-Connect that the Grid Power Failed. If you have set up a text message or e-mail alert in Web-Connect,then this message will be forwarded to you via that mechanism within the first minute of the failure havingoccurred. When the power returns, the cellular meter or collar will “phone home” again to notify of a PowerUp, with a separate optional alert, so that the mapping is always up-to-date with the current outage situation.

REAL - WORLD EXAMPLE WHICH ACTUALLY HAPPENED:When a traffic accident recently tookout a power pole, the power feed tothat neighborhood was interrupted.A Nighthawk meter on a house inthat neighborhood “phoned home”and notified the utility that the powerhad failed to that neighborhood, allwithin the first minute of the poweroutage, even before the 911 call tothe police.

CREATING AUTOMATIC AND IMMEDIATE ALERTS:

Cloud-based Internet


Nighthawk’s Web-Connect system allows you to set up three different types of outage alerts, as follows:

Outage Notification: Whenever a cellular meter or collar experiences a power line outage, it will use its“last-gasp” power (from capacitors - no batteries onboard) to “phone home” and report the outage. If youenter an e-mail address or an SMS text message cell-phone number, Web-Connect will contact you via thatmeans to alert you. Web-Connect will show a red balloon on its outage map for any outage meters or collars.

Power Up Notification: When a cellular meter or collar powers up, it “phones home” to Web-Connect andyou can choose (or not) to have Web-Connect alert you that it has powered up by entering an e-mail addressor an SMS text message cell-phone number. Web-Connect will show a green balloon on its connected mapfor all powered up meters and collars.

Tamper Notification: When a meter Powers Up (not so for a collar), it will determine if it has been remountedin an inverted posture or if it was jiggled during its “last gasp” power failure, such as would happen if theoutage had been caused by the meter having been torn roughly from its socket. In either of these cases,the meter will report a possible tamper and you can ask to be notified immediately if Web-Connect receivesa meter Power Up message which indicates either of these two cases (inverted or jiggled during “last gasp”).

Please note: Nighthawkcellular meters, collars andalarm devices don’t containany GPS technology beyondtheir cellular components. Theaddresses used for mappingin the Outage ManagementSystem are the addresses youentered into Web-Connectwhen deploying these metersor collars in the field.

End - Of - Line Voltage ReportingUSING NIGHTHAWK REMOTE CONTROL METERS

Nighthawk meters can be set to report voltage at the same time every day or pre-scheduled tohave their voltage read and stored in Nighthawk’s Cloud database on a regular repeatable basis.In addition, using the Time-Of-Use feature, meters can have their voltage measurements recordedevery minute to every hour, stored on board the meter and collected periodically via a Cloud Cellularconnection back to Nighthawk’s Cloud database for utility downloading, analysis and reporting.

Measurements, Alerts AndControls At Your Fingertips


Nighthawk’s remote control disconnect meters provide a range ofdifferent ways to monitor and report end-of-line voltage, and candisconnect or reconnect residential loads remotely, where:

1.) Summer heat can cause end-of-line voltages to sag;

2.) Variable loads on a feeder can make end-of-line voltagedifficult to predict;

3.) Restructuring of distribution lines can cause unexpectedvoltage drops; and,

4.) Peak load voltage “shaving” needs to be managed to ensureadequate voltages reach end-of-line locations.

WHEN VOLTAGES GO OUT OF RANGE

Instant Alerts When Voltage Goes Out-Of-Range:

Each meter can have individual high and low voltage thresholds set wherethat meter will “phone home” and notify Web-Connect (Nighthawk’s Clouddatabase) when the meter voltage sags below or swells above pre-definedlimits. Web-Connect can INSTANTLY e-mail or text message thesevoltage alerts to your cell-phone and Web-Connect can show you on amap the stated location of the meter experiencing the voltage problem.

Itron Form 2S or 12SResidential Meter

Secure, simple to use interface for Nighthawk cellular and pager based devices.

Utility WebConnect has been developed to provide an easy to use interface to allow utility users tomanage their Nighthawk devices in the field. The Web-based interface requires minimal setup and nointegration with existing Customer Information Systems. WebConnect is compliant with many billingsystems via either its CSV (Comma Separated Values) report outputs or its MultiSpeak compliancy.

Whether controlling a single devices or thousands, nothing could be easier then our WebConnectsoftware. Connect / Disconnect and many other features, depending on the device, are just a clickaway. Users can even control different device types from a single WebConnect account.

No matter how far away, or how difficult premise access is, total control is at your fingertips.

Current status, Recent Activity and even Detailed History are available for each customer. TheWebConnect system offers full reporting capability as well including activity of individuals or all activitiesfor a selected period of time.

Utilities can have unlimited users with various levels of authority, as established by the systemadminstrator. This allows utilities to set limits by job function if desired. Reports can be limited as well,so that users can only see their own activity.
